"Harmony and elegance!"
This is the estate’s signature wine, embodying the family’s history. Made primarily from Merlot grown on a beautiful clay-limestone terroir on the hillsides. The Cabernet Sauvignon adds a touch of spice and a lovely freshness to the wine. An excellent value for the price.

About the estate:
Perched on the hills above Bourg, this estate has been in the family for over a century. It is dominated by a small 15th-century castle, renovated in the 19th century, featuring pepper-pot towers. Valérie and Philippe Bassereau took over the estate in 1990. The vineyard’s size (45 ha) allows them to produce wines that are by no means limited to a select few.
